[PATCH] replace: parse revision argument for -d

'git replace' parses the revision arguments when it creates replacements (so that a sha1 can be abbreviated, e.g.) but not when deleting replacements.

This sucks.
Make it parse the argument to 'replace -d' in the same way.

Just in case someone lost the replacement object before deleting the replacement, take the argument literally if it can not be resolved to a full sha1.
